how do I adjust my hue and saturation on my office jet pro

[hollyjo]

 I print a lot of digital scrapbooks and my colors on the  monitor do not match what is printed out. I cannot figure out how to change the hue and saturation. HELP!

[Valsimot]

Printer and monitor used two different methods of creating a visible image on the screen and on paper.

Making them be close to exact you need to have professionally calibrated monitor and professional printer.  There is no option on the printer for adjustment, some adjustment can be done in the printer driver.

Does HP have a printer that I can purchase that I can  change the hue and saturation?

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

Printers are both smart and dumb at the same time -- once calibrated to provide the best color settings available using the printer hardware, the printer is dependent on the content sent to it to provide the desired image.

Information

•  Printing Self-Test Pages

Computer monitors, unlike a printed photograph, provide color "from the back", that is, the color shines through the image and is displayed on the screen.  Printed content is reflective, that is, the image reflects off the surface of the paper on which the image is printed.

This is essentially a repeat of the advice from @Valsimot :

Precisely matching the different methods of displaying and then printing the content of a document or photo is not something easily accomplished with home equipment.  

What can you do?

As best you can, Calibrate the color on the computer monitor to display colors as accurately as the hardware and software can provide.

One of many articles that include the general instructions to calibrate computer display / colors:

How to Calibrate Your Monitor in Windows 10

If your computer provides Graphics card level calibration, you will likely find the setup / access to the graphics settings on your Desktop: 

Example - for a computer supporting certain types of Intel Graphics

Right-Click on a clear area on the Desktop

Select Intel Graphics Settings

Set / Adjust the Color Settings as desired

Save Changes and exit

What else?

Use Photo Editing / Printing software that provides at least the basic tools to change / manage the colors on the image before that image is sent to the printer.
